The political climate in the rareifed air
has left me gasping and pulling my hair!
The economy is bad, A war in Iraq-
All of the blather, political attacks!

The one who we choose, is our fascination-
The election is serious! Not recreation!
Bickering, bobbing, ads are debated
The first week in November, our desires will be sated.

Everyone is wrong, everyone's right
Let's roll up our sleeves, It's a political fight!
Elephants, donkeys, the GOPS and the DEMS!
No one has commented on Sarah's dress hems!

Mcain is a hero, Barack is a traitor.
I wonder what politics are like on the equator?
Barack is the man, McCain an old fool?
And everyone claims they went to Hard Knock School!

It nice to have discourse, to have a small voice.
Think of the countries where no one has choice.
When the polls close, there will tears
and the side that's elected will be known from the cheers.

Politics divide, they unite and disgust.
It's winner take all, Will the totals be just?
After it's over I hope we can be friends.
That what it takes, to be American.
